[issue1431] pth files not loaded at startup

2007-11-13 Thread Brett Cannon

Brett Cannon added the comment:

While I am not sure how I feel about searching every entry on sys.path,
I know I don't like the idea of recursing the directory tree.  pth files
are meant to only be at the top-level of a directory that packages and
modules are checked for.

[issue1431] pth files not loaded at startup

2007-11-13 Thread Giambattista Bloisi

Giambattista Bloisi added the comment:

What I meant for recursively was not to scan the full directory tree,
but just to scan entries that have been added to the os.path. I think
that this was the original intention as
http://docs.python.org/inst/search-path.html states:
Any directories added to the search path will be scanned in turn for
.pth files. 
Also http://docs.python.org/lib/module-site.html states:
For each of the distinct head-tail combinations, it sees if it refers
to an existing directory, and if so, adds it to sys.path and also
inspects the newly added path for configuration files.

 BTW**2: I've noticed that abc.py's __instancecheck__ gets called a lot
 at times when I don't expect it.  Can you research this a bit?

In classobject.c, method_call() calls PyObject_IsInstance() on the first
arg when the method is unbound.
This happens a lot in io.py, each time the code calls a base class method.

[issue1433] marshal roundtripping for unicode

2007-11-13 Thread Carl Friedrich Bolz

New submission from Carl Friedrich Bolz:

Marshal does not round-trip unicode surrogate pairs for wide unicode-builds:

marshal.loads(marshal.dumps(u\ud800\udc00)) == u'\U0001'

This is very annoying, because the size of unicode constants differs
between when you run a module for the first time and subsequent runs
(because the later runs use the pyc file).

[issue1435] Support for multiple handlers for the with statement

2007-11-13 Thread Stavros Korokithakis

New submission from Stavros Korokithakis:

Currently, the new with statement does not support multiple handlers. 
For example, to open two files for input/output you would have to do:

with open(filein) as input:
with open(fileout) as output:
#Do stuff
pass

This adds unnecessary complexity, and would be unwieldy with multiple 
code blocks. Would something like the following be feasible?

with open(filein) as input, open(fileout) as output:
# Do stuff
pass

This syntax is fully backwards-compatible, so there shouldn't be any 
problem there.

return '[%s, %s]' % (self.s, str(self.arr))

objs = []
objs.append(Blah('obj-a'))
objs.append(Blah('obj-b'))
objs.append(Blah('obj-c'))

# add to first object's array
objs[0].arr.append('abc')

# bug: 'abc' got added to all arrays
# print all arrays
for obj in objs:

This is discussed in several places in the doc and the FAQ, e.g.

I like to move _PyExc_Init() before _PySys_Init() and set sys.prefix,

Without the changes Python is seg faulting on Windows when the path

[issue1415] py3k: pythonw.exe fails because std streams a missing

2007-11-13 Thread Amaury Forgeot d'Arc

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment:

Is it the only possibility?

On Windows, it is quite common to print to stdout for debugging
purposes, then deploy the application with pythonw.exe which suppresses
the console. Without any change to the code. Most pygame programs I know
work this way, and C programs have the same behaviour.

Prints should work, even if they discard their output.

[issue1415] py3k: pythonw.exe fails because std streams a missing

2007-11-13 Thread Christian Heimes

Christian Heimes added the comment:

As far as I can see print() works if sys.stdout is either None (discard
output ASAP) or a file like object. Even print(file=syst.stderr) works.

sys.stdout.write() is going to fail when sys.stdout is None but that's
not my concern. It's another well documented difference between Python
2.x and 3.x. If people still need a valid but no op stdout they can set
up their own:

class NullWriter:
def write(self, data):
pass

if sys.stdout is None:
sys.stdout = NullWriter()

Done ;)

It's not very important indeed.

[issue1438] Calling base class methods is slow due to __instancecheck__ override in abc.py

2007-11-13 Thread Guido van Rossum

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

[Guido]
  I've noticed that abc.py's __instancecheck__ gets called a lot
  at times when I don't expect it.  Can you research this a bit?

[Amaury]
 In classobject.c, method_call() calls PyObject_IsInstance() on the
 first arg when the method is unbound.
 This happens a lot in io.py, each time the code calls a base class
 method.

[Guido]
I wonder if we should get rid of this isinstance check. It is only used
to be able to issue a pedantic error message. Perhaps we could even get
rid of unbound methods, and just return the underlying function object
instead of creating an unbound method object. This should make things a
bit faster.

[issue1433] marshal roundtripping for unicode

2007-11-13 Thread Guido van Rossum

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I think this is unavoidable. Depending on whether you happen to be using
a narrow or wide unicode build of Python, \U may be turned into
a pair of surrogates anyway. It's not just marshal that's not
roundtripping; the utf-8 codec has the same issue (and so does the
utf-16 codec I presume). You will have to code around it. I think that
the alternative would be more painful in other circumstances.

[issue1436] logging.config.fileConfig, NameError: name 'RotatingFileHandler' is not defined

2007-11-13 Thread Vinay Sajip

Vinay Sajip added the comment:

This is not a bug: I think you are missing something. In the first
example (interactive usage), the lines import logging and import
logging.handlers do not magically introduce RotatingFileHandler into
your interactive session's globals. To do this, you would have to say
from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler. An analogous example
unrelated to logging:

ActivePython 2.4.3 Build 12 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.4.3 (#69, Apr 11 2006, 15:32:42) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
 import httplib
 HTTP
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'HTTP' is not defined
 httplib.HTTP
class httplib.HTTP at 0x00A759F0


In the second example (using fileConfig), the documentation in

http://docs.python.org/lib/logging-config-fileformat.html

clearly states that the class and arguments are evaluated using the
logging package's namespace. This means that for a handler defined in
the logging package itself (such as StreamHandler) no qualification is
required, but for a handler defined in the handlers subpackage, you
should specify handlers.RotatingFileHandler in the configuration file
rather than RotatingFileHandler or logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler.

[issue1431] pth files not loaded at startup

2007-11-13 Thread Brett Cannon

Brett Cannon added the comment:

For what you meant by recursion, that makes more sense.

But as for whether this is correct or not, read the next paragraph in
the site docs
(http://docs.python.org/dev/library/site.html#module-site).  It says A
path configuration file is a file whose name has the form package.pth
and exists in one of the four directories mentioned above.  So the
newly added path is the four paths mentioned in that paragraph (e.g.,
the ones that involve sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix.

So the docs do not suggest that any recursive check is done, nor does it
need to worry about pre-existing directories.  It just needs to check
site-packages locations and site-python.

If site.py is not checking those directories, it is a bug, otherwise I
think the current behaviour matches the documentation.

[issue1431] pth files not loaded at startup

2007-11-13 Thread Giambattista Bloisi

Giambattista Bloisi added the comment:

This make sense. I hope I'm not annoying you.

But what I did was to read
(http://docs.python.org/inst/search-path.html) before reading
(http://docs.python.org/dev/library/site.html#module-site) as the latter
is referenced by the first via a html link.

The part of my interest of the first document says:
The expected convention for locally installed packages is to put them
in the .../site-packages/ directory, but you may want to install Python
modules into some arbitrary directory. For example, your site may have a
convention of keeping all software related to the web server under /www.
Add-on Python modules might then belong in /www/python, and in order to
import them, this directory must be added to sys.path. There are several
different ways to add the directory.

The most convenient way is to add a path configuration file to a
directory that's already on Python's path, usually to the
.../site-packages/ directory. Path configuration files have an extension
of .pth, and each line must contain a single path that will be appended
to sys.path. (Because the new paths are appended to sys.path, modules in
the added directories will not override standard modules. This means you
can't use this mechanism for installing fixed versions of standard
modules.)

So the gobolinux maintainer did: it added a file into this dir and it is
actually parsed and some dirs are appended to sys.path.

And after that the document says what already quoted:
Paths can be absolute or relative, in which case they're relative to
the directory containing the .pth file. Any directories added to the
search path will be scanned in turn for .pth files. See site module
documentation for more information.

So why repeat here that some other directories will be scanned for pth
files, while you describe the accepted format for paths in .pth files?
If the only scanned directories are the ones already cited (a directory
that's already on Python's path), IMO there is no need to specify
further, unless you mean that the single path appended to sys.path
that you are describing will be scanned *in turn* for .pth file.

On the other hand the second document doesn't say explicitly that the
*only* scanned directories are the ones derived from sys.prefix and
sys.exec_prefix. Indeed on darwin (Mac Os X) additional directories are
actually parsed.

[issue1431] pth files not loaded at startup

2007-11-13 Thread Brett Cannon

Brett Cannon added the comment:

I have made this a documentation bug as obviously there is some needed
clarification in how .pth files are handled.

If you have any suggested wording, Giambattista, then please feel free
to submit patches against the 2.6 docs (easier to work with since they
are in reStructuredText format).  Otherwise I will try to get to this
when I can (which might be a while =).

[issue1440] Checks for PySys_GetObject(std???) == Py_None

2007-11-13 Thread Christian Heimes

New submission from Christian Heimes:

Can you please review the patch. It's not urgent. It adds additional
tests for std??? == Py_None to some functions to speed up things or
raise more meaningful exceptions when sys.std??? is None.

[issue1134] Parsing a simple script eats all of your memory

2007-11-13 Thread Viktor Ferenczi

Viktor Ferenczi added the comment:

This bug prevents me and many others to do preliminary testing on Py3k,
which slows down it's development. This bug is _really_ hurts. I've a
completely developed new module for Py3k that cannot be released due to
this bug, since it's unit tests are affected by this bug and would crash
the user's machine.

Sadly I've not enough free time and readily available in-depth knowledge
to fix this, especially after the first attempt was not perfect, which
shows that it may be a bug that cannot be fixed by correcting a typo
somewhere... :-)

[issue1442] pythonstartup addition of minor error checking

2007-11-13 Thread Joseph Armbruster

New submission from Joseph Armbruster:

Trunk revision: 58963

Description:  No warning or error is reported it a file pointed to by
PYTHONSTARTUP is not readable.

Request:  To display a warning so that the user may be notified.

Note:  Errors that may occur in PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags are being cast
away, may be worthwhile to report an error for those as well (unless
this was avoided for good reason :-)

Suggestion:

static void RunStartupFile(PyCompilerFlags *cf)
{
  char *startup = Py_GETENV(PYTHONSTARTUP);
  if (startup != NULL  startup[0] != '\0') {
FILE *fp = fopen(startup, r);
if (fp != NULL) {
  (void) PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags(fp, startup, 0, cf);
  PyErr_Clear();
  fclose(fp);
}
else {
  fprintf(stderr,Warning: Could not read startup file %s\n,startup);
}
  }
}
